This is the first outing of a new granular re-synthesis based Reaktor ensemble I am working on codenamed "BD".
The track is generated by 4 instances of the ensemble (playing different samples), panned by CamelSpace, with lashings of Valhalla…

Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)

This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.
So I'm going at my own pace, not trying to produce "finished" works, or to be governed by anything except my experimental muse.
The theme I chose…
Still playing with my _Neurotik_ sequencer made using Max for Live. This one turned out a bit strange. I was actually using it to drive Kontakt with cello & violin patches.
It was sort of interesting but not quite working when I dropped CamelSpace…
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
I seem to have problems streaming tracks on here these days unfortunately, but fortunately that means I download them to listen. This track was incredibly relaxing to listen to. I felt as if I'd returned to the safety of the womb.
Wonderful...thanks!!!
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.
Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.
Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.
This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).
Old Conor Higgins…
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying. Even though I cropped that part, I didn't use any noise reduction…
Another experiment.
Today Eos was released. In trying it out, I found 7 random synth clips in my library (not entirely random but they might as well have been). These are fed for somewhat random durations and order through 4 Eos reverbs in…

It is a promise to people to get energized from me to do what they need to do. We can all share to…
Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…
and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
First attempt at making something with the demo version of live 8 suite and some of the sample tutorials. Just the first third or so of a whole track really. It's the first thing I haven't wanted to delete straight away so I want to put it somewhere…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Great panning mate very cool mix like it.
infectious!
Sweeping and collective!
I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not in there with it. Weirdly wonderful sounds there! Seriously, Happy Christmas Sandbags!
Yeah, but, what's in the box?
Acid on the assembly line.....
Nice panning effects! So- What's the answer? Lemme guess- Pain is in the box(sorry- read Dune too many times!)
Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)
You're very wise Joe. I can recommend someone! :)
i like it. *calls therapist for crisis counselling*
Not bad for or to fill in the chase scene, for example. To be continued...? Think I will ask you for a samples.
Holy sci fi!
It certainly is.
a dark digital confusing march around crop circles
this is some good stuff
All your work that I've listened to so far resonates with me at a molecular level. I enjoyed this a lot. :)

You always inspire my ambient side. Massive wall of sound.
I've got sharks swimming through a sunken wreck. Clever and weirdly atmospheric!
Yes, I agree with Johnny, a most amazing mix of sounds. Well Mr. S, it sounds like a dream!

Man I love your stuff. It's atmospheric, nice timbres, great beat. Hope you've got more to upload!
Good music to make you want to zone out and stare into space :)
Love this one.
Lovely.
I'm glad you decided to release this anyway because it's lovely. I'm getting used to being eased into my day by a new track from you. Keep it up! :)
Weird and wonderful. I'm enjoying your RPM album which has been a trip so far :)
An hour well spent :)
I really love these ditty's.
Kind of the anti-blues ;-) Love it!
A nice way to slide into Monday morning.
Love it.
Strange and dark. I love it :)
Great, laid back, sound.
Have to give you much kudos for working out how to make 4 reverbs sound good :)
That was great!
Love the dreamy quality and the use of BigSeq2. How did you come up with the notion of using 4 Eos in series?
Really enjoyed this one :)
Thanks for the kind words folks :)
There is something truly awesome about a track about and from making coffee :)
I enjoyed it :)
